Until the ninth century it consisted of several independent major [[Gael]]ic kingdoms ([[Uí Fiachrach]], [[Uí Briúin]], [[Uí Maine]], [[Conmhaícne]], and [[Delbhna]]). Between the reigns of [[Conchobar mac Taidg Mór]] (died 882) and his descendant, [[Aedh mac Ruaidri Ó Conchobair]] (reigned 1228–33), it became a kingdom under the rule of the [[Uí Briúin\|Uí Briúin Aí]] dynasty, whose ruling [[sept]] adopted the surname Ua Conchobair. At its greatest extent, it incorporated the often independent [[Kingdom of Breifne]], as well as [[vassal]]age from the lordships of western [[Mide]] and west [[Leinster]]. Two of its greatest kings, [[Tairrdelbach Ua Conchobair]] (1088–1156) and his son [[Ruaidri Ua Conchobair]] (c. 1115–1198) greatly expanded the kingdom's dominance, so much so that both became [[High King of Ireland]].
